I saw this memey thingamabobber on Zoot's site and since I'm completely without blog fodder today....well, I figured I'd post my version. There are some kick ass books on here. Sadly, though, I think there are a hell of a lot of kick ass books not even listed. I would say 75% of those that are "to be read" have already been purchased and are sitting in the office waiting for me to open them.

Enjoy the list....I'd love to hear any thoughts you have on it.

Do any of you ever have books you read many many years ago pop into your head for no reason? Today it was Flowers For Algernon for me. Strange.

Anyway, on with the list.

Bold those you’ve read.Italicize books you have started but couldn’t finish.Add an asterisk* to those you have read more than once.Underline those on your To Be Read list.
